Rachel Reeves, Chancellor, called for closer ties with Beijing after Donald Trump slapped 245% tariffs on Chinese imports. She believes it would be "very foolish" for Britain to disengage with China and wants to forge a deeper partnership instead of creating new barriers.

Donald Trump shared "proof" that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant who was deported and has become a martyr to liberals, is a member of the MS-13 cartel. Trump posted photos on Truth Social showing knuckle tattoos allegedly belonging to Abrego Garcia, including a marijuana leaf, smiley face, cross, and skull, with "MS-13" digitally added across the knuckles.

Thousands of people across the US protested President Donald Trump’s recent actions on Saturday, with demonstrations taking place in cities and outside landmarks such as the White House and Tesla dealerships. The protests, known as "50501", coincided with the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War and addressed various grievances including the return of mistakenly deported citizen Kilmar Ábrego García and the Department of Government Efficiency's plans to cut government jobs and spending.

The White House launched a new Covid-19 website, featuring an image of President Trump, which blames China's Wuhan laboratory for causing the pandemic. The website claims that researchers at the institute fell ill with Covid-like symptoms in fall 2019, months before the virus was discovered in an animal market. It also criticizes previous US administrations and the World Health Organisation (WHO) for downplaying the lab leak theory and instead promoting the idea of a natural origin. The website concludes that scientific evidence suggests the pandemic originated from a laboratory, not nature, and criticises WHO's response as "an abject failure" due to pressure from China.
